The short answer is no. The UK uses different AC voltage and plugs from the US, and also a different television system (PAL) from the US (NTSC). These are not compatible. (Television programs traded back and forth have to be converted, to be watched.)

Are UK ntsc j Xbox 360 games compatible with Chinese ntsc j Xbox 360?

According from Play-Asia, the Xbox 360 is available in three region versions:* NTSC-U (/C) - United States, Canada.* NTSC-J - Japan, Korea, Asia ( China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri-Lanka, India etc. )* PAL - Europe & AustraliaWhy is the Xbox 360 region protected and the Playstation 3 is region free?Cause Microsoft wants to prevent its piracy things.So, UK doesnt have NTSC-J Xbox 360 systems but PAL ones, unless you bought one (Xbox 360 NTSC-J) via internet or something;).A year ago, i also bought some Xbox 360 games from UK (www.amazon.co.uk , cause they got some games which are available in diffrent editions) and all the games were PAL (regions).So i got also a PAL Xbox 360 and soon also a NTSC-J Xbox 360:).And some games are or could be region free. Check the website of Play-Asia via this link for region protected games, region free games, in-game languages and more beneath.Xbox360™ Regional Compatibility Guidehttp://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.htmlNOTE:When i bought the Xbox 360 (NTSC-J) from Play-Asia, i saw the features and of them was, "This is the Asian version console. Only suitable to play Japanese/Asian NTSC-J encoded or Region Free Games"Play-Asia is saying in the "Xbox 360 Regional Compatibillity Guide" that there are two NTSC-J versions for Asia like, "Japanese Version" and the "Asian Version". But actually, they arent diffrent. Cause it WILL STAY, the NTSC-J region code. So theres nothing special or worry to about;).
